Nevada Commissioner Rules Against Rupert Murdoch's Bid to Alter Family Trust for Lachlan's Control
Dec 9, 2024, 08:15 PM
A Nevada commissioner has ruled against Rupert Murdoch's attempt to alter his family trust, a move aimed at consolidating control of his media empire under his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, and securing Fox News's right-wing editorial stance. The decision, based on a sealed court document, described the plan as a 'carefully crafted charade' and noted that Murdoch acted in 'bad faith.' This ruling represents a significant setback for Murdoch's efforts to shape the future of his media holdings.
